Behavioral Health

For many adults, behavioral health problems can be as serious and as challenging to their physical health. Accurate diagnosis and treatment of mental health conditions can greatly enhance the quality of life.

We have established a specialized 40-bed unit within our hospital to focus on geropsychiatry, an area of medicine that addresses the unique physical and emotional needs of older adults, and a 34-bed adult mental health unit to treat mental health needs for anyone 18 years and older. Our experienced, compassionate team of healthcare professionals is dedicated to providing the tender care and the emotional support these patients and families need.

For evaluation or admission information, please call
 702-649-7711.
